Three Courtyards House

**Santa Fe, Argentina**

Located in the traditional Candioti Sur neighborhood of Santa Fe, Argentina, the *Three Courtyards House* is sited on a narrow urban lot measuring 7.5 meters in width, bordered by party walls and fronting busy vehicular corridors. The project responds to this dense urban fabric with a spatial strategy that balances privacy, light, ventilation, and connection to nature.

The design is structured around three courtyards, which organize and articulate the program across two levels. These open-air voids function not only as environmental regulators—bringing in natural light and cross ventilation—but also as moments of visual and spatial relief within the compact footprint.

Entry is defined by a recessed portico with a metal gate that opens into the first courtyard: a transitional garden space mediating between street and interior, punctuated by a linear planter and a stepping path.

From there, a foyer anchors the circulation, leading to a home office, guest bathroom, internal courtyard, and the main staircase.

The second courtyard, located at the heart of the plan, acts as a green lung, surrounded by the primary social spaces on the ground floor. Kitchen, dining, and living areas unfold across the full width of the lot, free of interior columns, enhancing spatial continuity. This open-plan zone extends into a covered gallery, blurring boundaries between interior and exterior.

The third and largest courtyard is conceived as an outdoor living area. It hosts a barbecue zone, informal seating, and service functions, further enriching the home's connection to the outdoors.

Private spaces are located on the upper level and organized along the same central circulation axis. Large north-facing windows bring daylight deep into the corridor and establish a sense of openness. Two bedrooms occupy this level, including a master suite, along with a full secondary bathroom, laundry, and access to a rooftop terrace designed as a technical area with potential for future expansion.

Rooted in local urban conditions and climate, the project uses simple but strategic gestures—voids, transparencies, and alignments—to generate a domestic environment that is both compact and generous, introverted yet porous.
